Guide: Sharing Sticky Notes Between Computers: Tips and Tutorial
Gone are the days when you had to rely on Google Drive or the simple copy and paste method of moving your sticky notes from one computer to another. Now you can do it without any outside help with Sticky Notes 3.0+. Last year, Microsoft launched an improved version of Sticky Notes (3.0) with the January update (version 1809). The new Sticky Notes come with interesting features such as dark mode, formatting and search. Not only that, but it also offers the ability to sync notes with other computers, Android phones, and iPhone. Whether you want to sync Sticky Notes to your macOS, Windows 7/8, or another Windows 10 computer, we’re here to help. There are three ways to share the notes. Let’s take a look at them one by one.
1. Share Sticky notes between Windows 10 computers
First of all, this method only works on Windows 10 computers as previous versions of Windows and macOS do not support the updated Sticky Notes app.
To share and sync Sticky Notes with other Windows 10 computers, just log in to Sticky Notes 3.0+ on both computers with your Microsoft account. When you do that, your sticky notes will automatically appear on the new device. Amazing, right? However, keep in mind that the changes you make on one computer will also be reflected on the second computer, as the notes are constantly synchronized.
How to Log in to Sticky Notes
Step 1: Launch the Sticky Notes app on your Windows 10 desktop or laptopIf the app is missing, install it from the following link by clicking Get button on the Microsoft page. Download sticky notes
We recommend updating the installed app from the link above before proceeding. You will see the update button (after clicking Get) if an update is available. Step 2: If Sticky Notes appears on your desktop, follow this step. Otherwise, skip to step three if you see a single window with your sticky notes. Tap the three dots icon at the top of a note and select Note List from the menu.
Step 3: From the sticky notes list screen, tap the settings gear icon at the top.
Step 4: On the next screen, click Sign In and sign in with your Microsoft account.
Step 5: Repeat the steps above for your other Windows 10 computers. The notes are automatically displayed up There. Make sure to use the updated Sticky Notes app on any computer.
2. Access Sticky Notes on macOS and Windows
Another way to share sticky notes is to use the Outlook app for Windows and macOS. Here’s what to do. Step 1: I assume you want to share your Windows Sticky Notes with other devices. Hence, update the Sticky Notes app and log in as shown above. Step 2: Open the Outlook app on your computer and sign in with the same account you use with your Sticky Notes. Step 3: In the Outlook app, click the Notes icon at the bottom. If it’s not available, click the three dots icon first, then click the Notes icon. You will love to see your sticky notes sitting there.
3. Access sticky notes on any device
Above methods did not work for you? Do not you worry. This technique can be used on any device with browser capabilities – be it your Android phone or tablet, iPhone, iPad, Chromebook, any Windows computer (Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10) and others. Basically, Sticky Notes now has a web version. That means you can view your notes online at https://www.onenote.com/stickynotes. Open the URL and sign in with the same Microsoft account you use with your Sticky Notes on Windows 10 PC. Again, any changes you make on both sides will be synced and reflected everywhere.
The method has the disadvantage that you have to visit the website every time. To avoid that, you can create your own Sticky Notes app with Chrome (as shown below). A shortcut icon will be added to your desktop. Click on it to instantly view your notes saved on Sticky Notes in a separate window.
Create Sticky Notes app with Chrome
Step 1: Launch the Google Chrome browser on your PC and open https://www.onenote.com/stickynotes. Step 2: Click the three-dot icon at the top of Chrome and select More tools followed by Create shortcut.
Step 3: A bang-up box is opened. Click on Create.
Go to your desktop and you will see the Sticky Notes icon there. Launch the app to view your sticky notes directly from the desktop.
Sticky Notes don’t work
If you are unable to share notes using any of the three methods, we recommend that you solve Sticky Notes in the following ways.
1. Update Sticky Notes app
As mentioned earlier, the sync feature is only available on Sticky Notes 3.0+ and above. So update the app from the Microsoft Store.
2. Log out of the app
If the app is updated but the notes aren’t syncing, log out of the sticky notes on both sides. Then log in again. To opt out, go to Sticky Note Settings and click Sign Out. Hopefully that should fix it.
3. Manual sync
Sometimes due to slow internet, synchronization does not happen automatically or in real time. To manually sync notes, go to Sticky Notes settings and click the Sync now option. Tip Under Sticky note settings, turn on dark mode for your notes.
Good luck
Well, that’s How to sync your sticky notes with other computers. Fortunately, the notes are accessible on your phones (Android and iPhone) also using the OneNote apps. I hope everything goes well. However, if you ever get bad luck causing you to lose your precious sticky notes, you can recover them this way. The next up: Want to get the most out of your Windows 10 computer?
